Anonymous asked: so how did Forever 21 get access to your design and isn"t this just a clever way to get publicity? I mean a present for your wife? and then what Forever 21 saw her on the street?
floatingparticles asked: Contact a lawyer. F21 cannot steal designs like that and if they have sold *any* of those shirts you can be entitled to money. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, artist have rights.
cleanmess asked: Jon, I admire all the work you've done with CXXVI. I'm starting my own menswear collection as well, mirroring that same vintage aesthetic you perfected. What calligraphy books did you start with? And is there any advice or direction you can offer?
Anonymous asked: Hello! I LOVE your designs! Ive been wanting to develope a few logos/images for my vintage line and your style is right up my alley. Do you do freelance work? If so, may I please get in touch with you? Thank You!

Anonymous asked: How do you finish your work? Do you keep it pixel-based...or do you bring it into Illustrator/trace etc.? How much tweaking do you do on the computer, or is it all perfected on paper? How do you do what you do!?!? ;)
laurenlidstrom asked: Concerning hand-lettering, would you recommend a traditional calligraphy lesson/class before developing a solid personal style?

johnpeele asked: Jon, again, love your work, and I hope my questions never bug you. I was wondering how you achieved the roughness and organic feel of your lettering. I am not referring to any texturing or distressing, but rather the wavvy feel to your outlines. Do you just "draw" them that way and then fill in or does it come from the tooth of the paper you use causing ink bleed? Thanks!!!
WatchI tend to stay away from posting things I don’t make, but this has to be done. LEGO and hardcore have always been some of my favorite things in life, and now LEGO has combined them into one amazing video. Please take a minute to enjoy this, you’ll be glad you did.

madebyarchetype asked: LOVE LOVE LOVE your work. I was wondering if you use any reference material (print ephemera, historical docs, archives, etc.) for any of the type/hand lettering you do? I've been trying to find some myself. Thanks.
Anonymous asked: I'm curious to know how you got yourself out there & started getting clients before you became 'popular' and more widely known. Any suggestions for self promotion, etc?

iwalktall asked: Do you create your own textures or do you find them on the internet? I love all the vintage-y/rustic vibes stuff has been having lately but haven't been fruitful in re-creating it myself.
